In the past tense, something has already occurred, as in “Yes, I played soccer yesterday.” The event has already happened.

Present Tense: Used to describe actions taking place immediately, such as “Yes, I play soccer.” The activity is ongoing.

Future tense: Used for things that will occur later, such as “I’ll play soccer tomorrow.” This is a future action.
